Billy
“ He ought to press a nice hot iron against those pretty, grasping little hands!
Then Billy moved forward into the light and Barton was struck silent by wonder.
At sunset the light shone across the living room and into this bedroom. When he came into this light Billy's beauty was such that Barton was instantly swept by a wave of regret for his anger. Billy had the softest, finest face he had ever seen. The light made his exhaustion disappear.
He'd been in there screaming, though.... Like Timmy, like Jack he had been trying to make himself heard by the little Holcombe boy.
It had hurt when the others did it, but when Billy did it Barton felt betrayed to his very essence. It was as if the best part of his own soul was traitor to him.
He'd slapped Jack right across the room, and that devil Timmy, he'd had some really thorough attention paid to him, I should say!
The sunlight made Billy's skin go pink and pale white, made his hair glow as if it was precious metal, shone in his eyes like the very light of heaven.MoreLess
